This blog is a little effort to make biotechnology concepts simplified to all the students in the degree classes from all the universities.I took the initiative to make concise and well formulated notes supported with the diagrams.I have struggled a lot in making notes and searching for the concepts by digging library books and surfing various sites. All i want is to create one place where you can look up to biotechnology notes and rely upon them as i have put up a lot of effort on them.

Industrial Microbiological Processes

Introduction

Microorganisms have been exploited for useful purposes from a long time back before anything else was known about their existence or their characteristics. Looking back to history we will find that there are many applications of microbial processes that have resulted in the production of the desirable materials; especially food products and beverages.Because of the industrial point of view we can call microorganisms as chemical factories; as they have the capacity to convert a raw material into the products and if those products are important for human beings; then it is obviously attractive to exploit the microbiological processes i.e the end products on a commercial scale.

The revolutionary step in setting up industrial microbiology is the Recombinant DNA technology. It is very likely that engineering of microorganisms is a desired step to produce new products on a commercial scale.

About Me

Myself a researcher interested in the field of genomics and biotechnology. Apart from following my dreams i also like to engage myself in helping other newbies in the field of life sciences. This blog is just a beginning to help budding scientists; who can get full fledged notes on biotech concepts. i have tried to make concise, thoroughly explained and supported with diagrams wherever necessary.This blog helps you avoid surfing websites for the conceptual notes. I am open to the suggestions and improvements!!! Good luck and Happy learning!!!
